That should count as -1 titles.
The loss to the Mavericks is as bad as anything Curry has on his resume. But the 3-1 comeback against that team, weird suspension stuff or no, is pretty damn legit. One of the more impressive lines on a resume we've seen in a bit.
Kobe winning back to back titles with 2 completely different incarnations of the Lakers is up there but being exactly like Jordan but lesser can't really get you into this conversation. And just as James had his weird flake-out series (against the Magic, I believe? Maybe Boston), Kobe has that bizarre Phoenix game and then the blown finals against Boston. Something of a tangent, but there aren't many guys who have won B2B with 2 completely different clubs like Kobe has. [Reply]

Don't you get it? Lebron is the only player allowed to build super teams and play with multiple superstars.
If he had helped develop (that bust)Wiggins (double ouch for KenPom Connection)instead of running him off for Love, he could have had a Pippen! [Reply]

Absolutely, but of course, stans like KCC like to play revisionist history and pretend that Kyrie wasn't also fantastic in that series. You would think Lebron did it all by himself, even though he was amazing and even better. [Reply]

No, he just cried to KD to save him and his fraud franchise from repeated NBA Finals beatings. [Reply]
The 2019 Raptors were kicking the shit out of that Warriors team all Finals without KD. Same thing would have happened in 2017 and 2018 by LeBron's hands had Steph and Draymond not had to cry to KD from the parking lot after the 2016 Finals loss.
